Description

Provide a description of the object, especially if the name does not provide a clear meaning. For more extensive documentation about the object, use the Documentation or Comment property (if available).

This description is used when searching and filtering objects in the IDE, so it is worthwhile providing a meaningful description to improve success when trying to find objects in a large development Repository.

Signature Description

Signatures of Uniface components use the description defined in the component definition, but you can provide a description for non-Uniface components.

If you have previously compiled the corresponding component, and the signature description is empty, the component description appears in this field.

A keyword description can be up to 64 characters, including (A-Z), numbers (0-9), and underscore (_) characters.
